Exit 30 off of Pennsylvania Interstate 84 is expected to be renamed in honor of slain State Police Cpl. Bryon K. Dickson II.
Dickson, 38, was killed in an ambush attack at the Pennsylvania Blooming Grove Police Barracks on Sept. 12, 2014, located about a mile from the Interstate exit. He was a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and left behind a wife and two young sons.
